If you want to get real, if you want to care, truly, then you have to be prepared for the pain. The pain of feeling what others feel. The sense of isolation, of desolation that mental illness brings. Jolt to get real. Jolt that quiet mind. My job as a teacher is to jolt you into life.

Hello, I’m a lover of all things fiction. Stories help me to relax when I’m anxious, learn when I don’t understand, escape when the world is frightening and imagine the life of the sea, the world in flight and the power of nature. I’m also a university teacher and I want to learn how to make better use of stories for learning. In the world of teaching, we call them ‘scenarios’, but I like stories better.
